Avatar 2 (or Avatar: The Sense of Water) has been one of the most famous premieres on the billboard. The sequel to the highest-grossing film in history is part of a saga of films that the director, James Cameron, already announced years ago (although with several changes in the expected release dates), and which are already being filmed.
While we still don’t know if or when Avatar 2 will premiere on Disney+, in a recent statement to Deadline, the Titanic director has commented on what we could expect from the next part of the saga, Avatar 3, highlighting the importance that the element of fire will play in the sequel, as well as the introduction of two new cultures.
Everything that is known about Avatar 3
James Cameron wanted to highlight the relevance that fire will have in Avatar 3. “Fire has a symbolic purpose in the film and there is a culture that specifically revolves around that concept. That’s probably saying too much as we speak”. The director assures that, in addition, we will get to know another culture, about which nothing is known yet.
This new information joins what we already knew previously. The movie will be released in theaters around the world on December 20, 2024 (you have almost two years to watch Avatar 2). The release dates of Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 are also known, which would be December 18, 2026 and December 22, 2028, respectively (although they can always vary).
Regarding the confirmed casting, we meet again with Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Britain Dalton, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Cliff Curtis, Bailey Bass, CCH Pounder, Matt Gerald, Jack Champion and Edie Falco, with the possibility (very likely) that Kate Winslet will return in her role as Ronal.
We will also see new characters, such as Dr Karina Mogue, who will be played by Michelle Yeoh, the protagonist of Everything Everywhere All at Once. Oona Chaplin, who brought us an amazing Talisa Maegyr in Game of Thrones, will play a new Na’vi named Varang. Finally, David Thewlis, who gave life to Professor Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter saga, will characterize Peylak, a Na’vi we don’t know yet but who will have a leading role in the next three films.
What else do you think the new installment of James Cameron will bring us? Will Avatar 3 integrate a new technology? Will it include a nod to Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, the next video game in the saga whose story will be canon?
